Abstract and Keywords
This chapter focuses on a wide range of phenomena occurring under the heading of contact-induced morphological change, including several degrees of morphological integration, non-integration (qua indeclinability or maintenance of original markers), and borrowing. It also discusses three major types of mechanisms leading to morphological borrowing: ‘macro-mechanisms’ are general psycholinguistic mechanisms of transfer conceived in terms of source language vs. recipient language agentivity; ‘meso-mechanisms’ are conscious and unconscious techniques which are responsible for contact-induced language change, such as ‘Trojan horse structures’; ‘micro-mechanisms’ are local, concrete mechanisms, such as reborrowing and reanalysis. Cross-linguistic data are presented and discussed in light of the implications that contact-induced morphological change has for the theory of morphology.
Keywords: morphological integration, morphological borrowing, mixed language, MAT borrowing, PAT borrowing, Parallel System Borrowing, inflection, derivation, contextual inflection, inherent inflection
Francesco Gardani, PhD in Linguistics (2009), University of Vienna, is currently appointed as a senior postdoctoral researcher in the Department of Linguistics at the University of Zurich. His main areas of research and publication include morphology, contact linguistics, historical linguistics, Romance linguistics, and linguistic typology.
